What I enjoy most about farming

My passion is the farm. I learn something new every day, and I always am doing something different. Working with my dad, we get along really well. I have a passion for working for myself and seeing progress and success.

Why I work with FCSAmerica

They’re so easy to work with. By establishing trust and being able to work so well together, they make it easier to sleep at night because I don’t have to worry about them not being there to help me reach my goals.

How FCSAmerica helps me meet my greatest challenges

Understanding the markets in a way that allows me to become a better farmer and be successful is a big challenge for me as I continue to take a larger role in the operation. It worries me sometimes how fast you can make or lose money because of how volatile the markets are today. That’s where I feel lucky to have FCSAmerica to help me get further into the financial side of things.

My advice to other young producers

The more I get into it, the more I learn how aggressive I need to be. It’s important to learn as much as you can about what it takes to manage an operation and how aggressive to be in pursuing growth opportunities.

A Partner For the Next Generation

Matt knew he wanted to become part of his family’s farm and ranch operation. Farm Credit Services of America is helping to make his aspirations a reality.

A Total Family Relationship

The longstanding relationship Randy and Matt have with their FCSAmerica financial officer is a huge asset to the Iowa, father-son farm team.

Passion for Ag

Randy and Matt love raising crops and livestock, and it’s important to the father and son to work with a financial partner who shares their passion for agriculture.

Plans Tailored to Our Operation

Every farm and ranch is different. Because of FCSAmerica’s ag experience and expertise, Randy receives a custom plan -- tailored to his specific operation and needs.

Capitalizing On The Right Opportunities

It’s important to Randy to work with a financial partner that helps him capitalize on the right business growth opportunities, especially as he integrates son Matt into the operation.
